Summary: In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we discuss the importance of staying well hydrated and how critical it is for weight loss and overall health. Our bodies are made up of approximately 70% water, so we need to consume water consistently throughout the day to maintain a proper level of hydration. However, with all of the choices available on the market today, we have a tendency not drink enough water throughout the day. Also, many commercial beverages contain caffeine, sugar or sodium, which can compound the problem and have a negative impact on the body overtime as well. A recent study found people who consistently drank water before meals, lost more weight than people who did not consume water as consistently overtime. This study provides more evidence to support the benefits of drinking adequate water on a daily basis. In addition, we also discuss another study conducted in Japan linking insulin resistance with Alzheimer’s disease.
